With the rise of sedentary lifestyles post-COVID-19 pandemic and the adverse effects of handphone use and unhealthy eating habits among high school students, teachers and staff, there is an urgent need for innovative interventions that promote nutrition education and physical activity. So far, several conventional approaches have not shown significant results. This study addresses the need for school communities to initiate active and healthy lifestyle changes by utilizing mobile technology through a school community-based Haheho Apps intervention. Methods: Experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design, involving 256 school community members aged 15-18 years old. 21 teachers and school staff aged 30-58 years old, Participants will receive access to community-based Haheho Apps for 9 Weeks focusing on nutrition education and physical activity. Student and teacher groups receive age-appropriate materials and physical activities. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted to measure changes in nutrition knowledge, BMI, physical activity levels and physical fitness. 277 participants consisting of students, teachers and school staff took the pretest and posttest, participants in the control group showed improvement in nutrition knowledge, BMI, physical activity and physical fitness. Statistically significant decreases and increases were recorded overall, there was a significant decrease in BMI of 42% in the obese group, an increase in BMI of 33% in the less than ideal group, and 25% had no change. The Haheho Apps intervention based on school community is effective in improving knowledge, BMI, physical activity and physical fitness of school community members.
